20150812-WIXOM LAKE- Crappie Outing
20150812 - after noticing on a previous fishing trip to the bridge the water was crystal clear. I installed an ice fishing reel with 2 pound test braid on my four and a half foot ultralight spinning rod. I brought a handful of ice Jigs and tiny plastic bodies. first cast loaded up with a nice crappie and proceeded to catch a few more after that... Nice little outing.

Thanks all!...
waters have been very clear lately... usually happens every year during the summer in the north country... actually i was trying to target the small to medium sized gill ive seen hanging at the weed edges. glad to see the crappie though.
Bruce ... i only tip live bait in the winter ... i never tip during the open water season... Ive always relied on the action of the bait to trigger strikes.

Hey Slip. Nice haul. Do you tip the jigs with anything like wax worms, maggots, etc.?
